A step by step tutorial for getting GPS from any SmartPhone, even without GPS built in, and then making location useful.
You'll need to do the following in order to run this project:

* Set up an ActiveSync partnership with your phone or emulator.
	* If you're using an emulator, you'll also need to run the call simulator and FakeGPS.
* Grab a Yahoo Maps API key (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/) and enter it in the Settings.xml file. 
* Enter your Twitter user name and password in the Settings.xml file (no encryption build in for passwords for brevity).
* Run the project and open the Fire Eagle settings menu.
	* Click "Generate Tokens."
	* Browse to the resulting URL in your desktop browser.
	* Click "Finalize Authorization" to get your auth key/token.
